According to a 2007 report released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), pedestrian accidents killed more than 4,600 people in the United States and injured about 70,000 more. These accidents are caused by drivers who may be fatigued, distracted or operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Since pedestrians travel without the protection of seat belts, airbags, or helmets, their injuries can be serious and catastrophic. They are often treated for horrible injuries to their head, neck and spinal cord. These traumatic injuries can result in permanent disabilities or even death.

Injured pedestrians typically incur expenses related to the accident such as medical treatment, rehabilitation, medication, or lost income due to their inability to work. They may also lose the ability to perform various activities of normal daily living, in both the short and long term, and may endure pain and suffering as a result of the accident. These victims may be able to bring a claim against the driver and/or owner of the vehicle that struck them.

If you have been in a pedestrian accident, it is vital that you do not talk to any insurance investigator, sign any papers, or accept a settlement before talking to an accident lawyer. Many injuries have long-term consequences that simply are not accounted for by insurance companies. Insurance companies have a team of adjusters, investigators and attorneys whose goal is to minimize the amount of money they pay to accident victims.
